Langdon Tactical, Inc. (langdontactical.com) and pistol-training.com are excited to announce a new alliance to preserve the F.A.S.T. Coin test into 2015 and beyond.

F.A.S.T. Coins have been a staple of pistol-training.com classes and events since 2007, awarded to only the most highly skilled shooters who have been able to prove their on-demand shooting ability by successfully executing a short but comprehensive test. In those years, only ten people have earned Coins.

Ernest Langdon, owner of Langdon Tactical, was selected for this responsibility not only because he himself earned Coin #4 but for his decades of dedication to teaching tactical firearms skills to military, law enforcement, and private citizens as well as the competition skills that won him 10 national shooting championships and 2 world speed shooting titles.

As Todd Louis Green of pistol-training.com stated when the agreement was reached, “There is simply no better choice than Ernest when entrusting this legacy for future students of practical pistolcraft. Ernest’s dedication to teaching and his continuing leadership in the firearms industry guarantees that these F.A.S.T. Coins will be in the most capable hands and awarded only when truly earned.”

LEH application are due at the Victoria address by 4:30 pm Friday May 22, 2015. Hard copies (printed version) are currently being printed and should be available at your local vendor the week of Apri 6, 2015.

Limited Entry Hunting (LEH) are hunting opportunities created via a “lottery”, and the details are found in the LEH Synopsis. Participation in the LEH draw is available to any resident of B.C. who legally possesses a B.C. Resident Hunter Number.

The purpose of Limited Entry Hunting is to achieve wildlife management objectives without resorting to such measures as shortening seasons or completely closing areas. It is only introduced where it has become necessary to limit the number of hunters, limit the number of animals that may be taken, or limit the harvest to a certain “class” of animal.

If you’re more concerned with your previous best than what you can deliver right now cold on demand, you’re doing it wrong.

This evening I spent five hours having “dinner” with a very good friend and dedicated active duty military officer who is directly involved in the training of special operations units. Much of our conversation revolved around why it is far more important to train to a standard than chase after personal records while disregarding all the failures along the way.

You shot a 5 second El Presidente today? That’s great. Was it clean or was it just completed in under five seconds? Was it something you can do every time or was it something you managed once out of 20 tries, with the rest being slower, fumbled, laced with multiple misses, etc.?

Can you step up to the line right now, with no preparation, and guarantee you’ll do it clean in under 5 seconds? Because if not, don’t say “I can shoot a 5 second El Prez.” Say, “I once shot a 5 second El Prez.” There’s a difference.

Many of us struggle with a fast, efficient, and accurate first shot.One of the greatest problems I see with students seems to be the ability to drive the gun straight to the target.The presentation of delivering the gun to the target tends to get muddled with something other than a smooth, straight-like-it’s-on-a-rail presentation.

The two most common errors seem to be “fly fishing” which is a muzzle high delivery, and “bowling” which is a muzzle low delivery.While not a death roll to shooting, “fly fishing” and “bowling” does take effort to correct on the delivery.The draw tends to be smoother if the gun rotates straight up from the holster, and into a “high ready” position.This “high ready” position should include getting the gun as high as possible between the eye and the target. Positioning the gun too low at the high ready causes the shooter to have to not only drive the gun straight out, but also up.This problem also takes time, and conscious effort on the presentation.

Although the Soviet designed Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle had served with distinction in The Great Patriotic War, the Soviet high command determined there was a need for a shorter and more handy bolt action service rifle for the Red Army. The savage street by street combat in cities such as Stalingrad clearly showed that a carbine length firearm would better satisfy the needs of the Red Army. While the earlier Model 1938 Carbine seemed to fill this demand, the lack of a bayonet was seen as a grave deficiency in Soviet circles. The Soviet Union was winning the war against Hitler with shear numbers of men and machines coupled with mass of attack. While the concept of soldiers with bayonets advancing in gigantic formations seemed antiquated to the militaries of the West, this philosophy was still a key factor in the Soviet order of battle. A new carbine whose bayonet would reflect this doctrine was deemed in order, and the concept behind the Model 1944 Carbine ( M44 Carbine ) was born.

Baffles are usually circular metal dividers which separate the expansion chambers. Each baffle has a hole in its center to permit the passage of the bullet through the suppressor and towards the target. The hole is typically at least 1 mm larger than the bullet caliber to minimize the risk of the bullet hitting the baffle in what is known as a “baffle strike”. Baffles are typically made of stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, or alloys such as Inconel, and are either machined out of solid metal or stamped out of sheet metal. A few suppressors for low-powered cartridges such as the .22 Long Rifle have successfully used plastic baffles.

There are several unique baffle designs. M, K, Z, monolithic core and Ω (Omega) are the most prevalent. M-type is the crudest and composes an inverted cone. K forms slanted obstructions diverging from the sidewalls, creating turbulence across the boreline. Z is expensive to machine and includes “pockets” of dead airspace along the sidewalls which trap expanded gases and hold them thereby lengthening the time that the gases cool before exiting. Omega forms a series of spaced cones drawing gas away from the boreline, incorporates a scalloped mouth creating cross-bore turbulence, which is in turn directed to a “mouse-hole” opening between the baffle stack and sidewall.
